Become a certified youth fishing instructor
FINDLAY – Any adult, group, or conservation club who has an interest in taking kids fishing should
consider becoming a certified Passport to Fishing instructor, according to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources.
A certification course is being offered on March 20 at the ODNR Division of Wildlife District Two Office,
located at 952 Lima Ave. Passport to Fishing is a one-day instructor training program that qualifies
individuals to become ODNR Division of Wildlife certified fishing instructors, similar to a hunter
education instructor.
This workshop will take place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a packed lunch and
dress for the weather. It is free, but preregistration is required by March 15. Interested individuals
can register by calling Andrea Altman at 419-429-8321. Participants will be required to complete a
background check.
Passport to Fishing was developed by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and utilized by
state agencies like ODNR Division of Wildlife. Workshops teach volunteers the basics of fishing and how
to run a four-station program within a fishing event. These instructors then go back to their
communities, with a written curriculum and training aids, to teach kids and beginning anglers the basics
of fishing.
